About This Role
We're looking for Associates, on a zero-hours contract basis, to provide additional resource as and when required within the doctoral team at Metanoia Institute, supporting the next generation of researchers in psychotherapy, counselling and counselling psychology.
We're seeking experienced, research-active professionals to join our Research Degrees team as Associate Research Supervisors. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a vibrant doctoral community by providing high-quality supervision, academic guidance and pastoral support to doctoral candidates throughout their research journey.
What You'll Do
Working closely with the Head of Programme and the doctoral teams, you'll:
- Supervise doctoral researchers
- Provide expert feedback on research development and academic writing
- Help ensure students progress successfully through their doctoral studies
You'll also collaborate with fellow supervisors and contribute to the academic and research reputation of the Institute through your own scholarly activity and engagement with the wider research community.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.

Final considerations
As a UK-based Institute, all our roles are based within the UK, so you'll need the right to work in the UK and be able to provide proof. Unfortunately, we're unable to offer visa sponsorship.
We know that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of daily life and you may want to use it to help prepare your application. While AI can be a powerful enabler, and we're open to you using it, we ask that anything you submit genuinely reflects your own capabilities and viewpoint. We value honesty, integrity and creativity and want to understand what you'll uniquely bring to our team.
We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you're interested, we'd encourage you to submit your application as early as possible.
